I got a few pics. Most are from the dealer but I took a few. It's still there so they can add a Hamby, HDS graphs, Side imaging, and a Fortrex.

Now an interesting story. I went to tour the Ranger plant 11/5/10 when we went for a wedding in NW Ark. I took at least a hundred pictures. After looking at my boat yesterday, I knew I had seen a similar one in the rigging room so I looked at my pics again and found these first two pics. I told my dealer and she said her invoice from Ranger was dated 11/17/10. There were a couple other guys from Texas on tour with us (they're in the top pic and are TFF posters). We talked about fishing and Rangers the whole time. At the very end, they asked, "So which one are you going to get?" We were standing right beside that Z118 in the picture and I said, "I don't know, maybe this one." It's exciting to think I may have bought that exact boat. This is my first bass boat and of course first Ranger. I'll probably never know if that's really my boat but it's identical. I couldn't be happier.






More pics















Thanks to all you TFF guys who've answered a ton a questions over the years. I felt prepared for the purchase in part because of this board.

If you live in East Texas or parts of Oklahoma and want a Ranger, call Nichols Marine. They were very easy to deal with and I got a great deal on a loaded boat.
